Comedian throws fake money at Sepp Blatter during FIFA presser (VIDEO)

FIFA officials announced Monday that they will choose a successor to embattled president Sepp Blatter, who has served as the federation's president for 17 years, after saying he will not run again.

During the press conference, Blatter was showered with fake money by a notorious prankster at the group's Zurich headquarters.

Comedian Lee Nelson - real name Simon Brodkin - managed to infiltrate the presser and make it rain all over the stunned Blatter.

As Nelson is being led away, throwing the phony bank-notes in the air around a visibly furious Blatter, the prankster issues a parting shot, saying: "Cheers, Sepp - it's all there".
